• Argumentar que necesitamos cierta tecnología para producir alimentos y combatir el hambre es no tener en cuenta los hechos sobre el terreno. En realidad, lo que necesitamos es exactamente lo contrario de lo que nos proporcionan los OMG. Tenemos que capacitar a los agricultores para que cultiven alimentos por sí mismos y planten y cultiven sus propias semillas y utilicen prácticas para tratar las malas hierbas y la necesidad de fertilidad, no a partir de productos comprados como una semilla o un producto químico, sino a partir de sus propias explotaciones, de sus propios conocimientos y habilidades.

• Es una simplificación decir que los hombres [durante la Edad de Piedra] iban a la guerra para mantener su dominio sobre las mujeres. Los hombres ayudaban a cavar zanjas agrícolas porque eran excelentes agricultores. Era un trabajo muy pesado. Pero luego se acicalaban, se ponían plumas de ave de paraíso [en el pelo] y fumaban droga.

• You're never going to go. Why would you go? It's a disgusting place. It's always wet even when it's dry. There's nothing there. Farmers aren't really people, you know this. They're just necessary, we need somebody to kill cows.

• [Me sentí como si acabara de dar a luz. Me decía: "No puedes comer nada más que esto. Tienes que hacer lo que yo diga". Así que, además de hacer la película, me sometí a un régimen de entrenamiento disciplinado, porque todos los granjeros de queso están musculados, y yo quería ser fiel al personaje, porque soy Method. Pero me costó mucho trabajo llegar hasta ahí. Puedes estar seguro de que ahora todo ha desaparecido.

• Ya no entiendo a esta gente, que viaja en los trenes de cercanías a sus ciudades dormitorio. Estas personas que se llaman a sí mismas humanas, pero, por una presión que no sienten, se ven obligadas a hacer su trabajo como hormigas. ¿Con qué llenan su tiempo cuando están libres de trabajo en sus tontos domingos? Soy muy afortunado en mi profesión. Me siento como un granjero, con las pistas de aterrizaje como mis campos. Los que han probado alguna vez este tipo de comida no la olvidarán jamás. ¿No es así, amigos míos?

• Just read the farm relief bill. It's just a political version of Einstein's last theory. If a farmer could understand it, he certainly would know more than to farm. He would be a professor at Harvard.

• In the late 19th century there was a major union organization, Knights of Labor, and also a radical populist movement based on farmers. It's hard to believe, but it was based in Texas, and it was quite radical. They wanted their own banks, their own cooperatives, their own control over sales and commerce.

• La ciudad se recluta siempre en el campo. Los hombres de las ciudades que son los centros de energía, las ruedas motrices del comercio, la política o las artes prácticas, y las mujeres de belleza y genio, son hijos o nietos de campesinos, y gastan las energías que la vida dura y silenciosa de sus padres acumuló en surcos helados de pobreza, necesidad y oscuridad.

• El agricultor, después de sacrificar a su trabajo el placer, el gusto, la libertad, el pensamiento, el amor, resulta a menudo arruinado, como el comerciante. Todo este trabajo, desde el canto del gallo hasta la luz de las estrellas, durante todos estos años, para acabar en hipotecas y en la bandera del subastador, y yendo de mal en peor. Ya es hora de que se analice el asunto y, con una crítica cernida, se determine quién es el tonto.

• Beside all the moral benefit which we may expect from the farmer's profession, when a man enters it considerately, this promised the conquering of the soil, plenty, and beyond this, the adorning of the country with every advantage and ornament which labor, ingenuity, and affection for a man's home, could suggest.

• It is worth the expense of youthful days and costly hours, if you learn only some words of an ancient language, which are raised out of the trivialness of the street, to be perpetual suggestions and provocations. It is not in vain that the farmer remembers and repeats the few Latin words which he has heard.

• Don't get me wrong, God Bless the farmers and cowboys. It just wasn't the life I wanted. When writing stories of other lands, I can describe people and places from actual experience. And for someone with an imagination like me, I could see dinosaurs and lost civilizations in the jungle of Vietnam.

• The government will pay certain farmers to not grow corn. Wow. Where's my check? That'd be great. "Hey, what do you do for a living?" "Well, I don't grow corn. Get up at the crack of noon, make sure there's no corn growing. I'm gonna get up early tomorrow. And not plow. You know, we used to not grow tomatoes-but there's more money in not growing corn."

• To hinder, besides, the farmer from selling his goods at all times to the best market, is evidently to sacrifice the ordinary laws of justice to an idea of public utility, to a sort of reasons of state; an act of legislative authority which ought to be exercised only, which can be pardoned only in cases of the most urgent necessity.
